> “Our goal is that the world’s first fusion reactor should be realized in Germany,”

This will never happen. At some point they will notice that fusion is something with "nuclear" and "atoms" and they will immediately jump to "scary", "dangerous" and "verboten".



Germany is home to one of the most promising Fusion projects - "Wendelstein 7-X "


Germany also was home to some of the most cutting edge fission research. Otto Hahn (the ship, not the guy), THTR-300, EPR, SNR-300, ...

All gone now.


Of course, there is more fusion research now.


They are also a large supporter of ITER.
